  • Experience in machine learning, large language models, and semantic search.
  • Aptitude for learning new programming languages or methods.
  • Knowledge of in-vivo electrophysiological experiments or imaging methods.
  • Knowledge of task development and behavioral data collection.

Place of employment
You will be employed at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen in the centre of Copenhagen. The successful applicant will join a thriving international neuroscience environment. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.

The applicant will be the major participant in all aspects of the project, from designing, developing, and implementing technical solutions, to performing community outreach, working with pilot groups across the neuroscience community, and presenting results at conferences.
